Yep just a background note, gonna go easy on the ginger, was just wondering if adding to the boil would be more potent than doing a sort of dry hop

Hi guys, having been inspired by Badger's Blandford Flyer, I intend to do a version of all grain that has a slight "ginger" taste. Using fresh ginger could anyone out there give me an idea as to when the best time would be to add the ginger. Cheers all :thumb:

Hottest water your hands can handle and a pack of 3 Lidl's steel scourers and washing up liquid. Never fails...

I was surprised too, I even thought maybe my hydrometer is out . Great attenuation all the same.

Update..I left it in the secondary for 2 weeks and i bottled it after it finished at 1.002. Thats better than i expected after the coments ive had about the s-33 yeast. I make it 4.99% . That'll do for me.

Just checked the gravity and its at 1.009, not too bad at all after only 5 days

Hi all, Anyone got a wireing diagram for a REX C-100, or ever wired one up themselves. Cheers!!........:electric:

1 month ago i bought a 40 ltr one from argos £19.99. Works a treat

Cheers, checked it again and its virtually stopped now, i'll leave it until the weekend and take a reading

Blinkin ek,,,,,, it only started at 1.040. Can another yeast be put in now,, one that will go lower?

If you want it to reach a higher temp.you will have to fit a heater. A small tube heater willdo the job, and it will need to be connected to the stc otherwise it willbe on all the time and so will the fridge as it tries to cool the temp down. Simple job and works great......:cheers: if you...

Hi all, I've just used some S-33 yeast and it went nuts after about 6 hours and continued for abour 24 hrs and then slowed right down to virtually a stop over the next couple of hours. Has anyone else used this yeast with the same thing happening to their brews, thanks. Pete

Evening all, this is probably a waste of time asking but, does anyone know where I can get a Metal Keg to turn into a boiler, South Wales area? or further afield with postage. thanks :hat:

Hi, does anyone do the Rose" wine from the Range, and if so has anyone noticed a change in the taste? or have i done something wrong on this 6th pack!!!!!!!!!!!! usually turns out better than this last one. anyway just wondered.......

Thanks, i'm not that bothered about exact amounts ie 10 ltrs bottled or fermenting as its my first crack at all grain, I have a 16 ltr s/s pot that ive fitted a kettle element to and i control it with a regulator, works great. so i think i'll be ok for a full 10 ltr bottled amount.

Thanks for the reply's guys, seems like adding the cara is going to darken it? don't really want a dark beer so i may just do a simple SMaSH beer. Its the volumes of water i'm unsure of.

Thanks for that, what volumes of water (mash & sparge) would you use? thanks

Hi all, I need help with volumes and amounts etc, I want to do a 10 ltr (ish) all grain brew and have the following ingredients, 5 Kilos Maris Otter, 1 Kilo Dark Cara (crystal 30), 100grams Motueka hops and S-33 yeast. Could some one give me amounts to use to end up with about 10 ltrs, 4.5 - 5%...

Cheers for that.......

Hi all, would anyone know what the equivelent DME would be to a 1.5kg can of LME, thanks......:wha::wha:
